There are dozens of others. Unfortunately, on the spur of the moment, my memory fails me.
Also, I have purchased a couple of movies that were never on TV or in the movie theaters, Pirates of Penzance & HMS Pinafore. I lost count of the times I’ve watched them.
I rarely agree with any said by Old Joe. However, in this case I must. In the state of the union address, Old Joe said, “Freedom and Democracy are under assault.” I agree. It is casual to the most obvious observer that freedom and democracy are in substantial danger. Moreover, so are the Constitution and Bill of Rights. This is especially true for freedom of speech, freedom of religion and right to bear arms.
The dems are doing their best to destroy every bit of it.
Back in the day when I was stationed in Japan, my wife had to fill in on things for me. One of those things was attending those Parent Teacher Association meetings. She told me that all was done in triplicate because of the non-English speaking parents. That wasn’t just papers but all speeches as well.
Hence, a 1 hour meeting was stretched into 3. However, the problems didn’t stop there. While English was being spoken, the other 2 sets of parents just sat on their hands. On the other hand, those, those parents who were bilingual, had to listen to the same thing twice.
Let’s get real. A nation that has one language spoken by all is a benefit to all. For that reason, might I suggest we officially adopt English as the standard language for the US.
It’s not going to happen, especially after the way the border has been overrun. I have no earthly idea how many languages are now being used within our border.
If someone were to suggest a standard language the dems and rinos would instantly create an upheaval such as has not be seen ever in this continent. This is odd because they like to talk about unity. Yet there is nothing that separates like different languages.
People with common tongues have a tendency to settle in common places. People who settle in different areas and different tongues tend to think of themselves as different.
It is only natural. All the while those who are not fluent in English are at a disadvantage. Those who do speak English are held back by both. Professions such as police, 911 operators, hospitals, etc are the ones who are most frustrated by the nation of Babble.
The dems are upset at Robert Hur for saying Old Joe’s memory isn’t what it used to be.
The Republicans are saying, if he’s bright enough to run a country, he should be able to face a jury.
Either way, it appears Old Joe definitely did what Trump did and likely much worse. It just is we conveniently can’t try Joe because of limited mental capacity.
Now aren’t you happy to know our country is being run by a man with limited mental capacity.
As mentioned before, I love to tease the cats with a laser and they love it too. The laser is hooked on a keychain to make it easy to find. Now, every time I pick up the keychain, they come running. Once close-by, they start looking and anticipating.
It prompted a question, do big cats like to chase lasers. So I picked up my handy little computer pad and did a search. I won’t tell you what the answer is, look it up for yourself.
Nonetheless, during the search I came across 2 other articles. 1 said the lasers were bad for cats. the article right next to it said they are good for cats.
You get opposite expert opinions. I guess it is as so many other things in life. You can read one, then the other. Then you can go off and believe what you want.
I choose it is good for them. It’s so much fun, I think for everyone.
Not exactly the way it’s supposed to work…most of the time. There is an exception. If I am going to use a self-defense ploy, then I am admitting to the crime. Often times, it is admitting to the killing or assault of someone. I don’t think saying, I didn’t kill anyone. However if I did it was to protect myself.” I don’t think that would work.
My freedom after the trial depends on my proving that my life or another is in danger. For instance, “Sure I shot him. He was pointing a shotgun at me.” In this example, it is sort of obvious. In some cases, it can be a knife, a baseball bat or even a fist. That’s right. If a 250 lb man is about to hit a 100 lb woman, she can be completely justified in putting a couple of bullet holes in the man.
In simple words, we call it self-defense. I would guess most states call it justifiable homicide. Whatever it is called, it is a very important part of the laws, I’d guess in all states. Indeed, I suspect it is a worldwide concept, maybe even in China. Otherwise, all of us would be susceptible to violence on a whim. If I cannot protect myself from the man with a club, I am subject to being killed by any man with a sling and a rock.
Incidentally, anything of the proper size and weight can be used as a club. It need not be, per se, a baseball bat. Even a crutch can be a lethal weapon.
I spent a lot of words telling you what you already know.
Now I will write something you may or may not know. The young man, Rittenhouse was going to speak at University of Memphis. I heard about it on the news.
Apparently, the students did not believe he should have the freedom of speech, so they planned ways of keeping him from speaking. Apparently, they were even willing to buy out all available tickets.
Now, that’s weird. I guess the theory is to keep others from hearing him. Don’t know about Rittenhouse, but I wouldn’t mind giving a speech in an empty theater for a stack of cash.
Second, it’s a display of fear. Indeed they are afraid of what might he might tell the world. Finally, the man, in a court, proved before a jury, his justification in defending himself, in spite of those who were determined to hang him regardless of any and all evidence.
Those students who judged him guilty and wanted to take away his platform weren’t angry at him for killing the men but rather that he, as others, refuse to swallow the garbage that they want us to swallow. I am sure he would find far more friends in the ranks of the student body should he decide to drop his beliefs and pick up the banner of the politically correct.
Motor home. It has been my dream since high school. Doesn’t look like it will happen, though.
It would be nice. Came close to buying motorhome. Then, reality hit me right between my eyes. Sometimes, that happens, you know.
I can’t remember first time I saw the movie Bataan, but I had to be young. It made a big impression on me. Even more, it was the first time I learned something about military intelligence.
I’m not so niev as to think the movie was a complete accurate accounting of what happened during the battle, no one survived it to tell about it.
Nonetheless, in the movie, one of the characters got really angry at another for blowing taps for the first one to die. The one said he deserved it. The other said he was giving valuable info to the enemy. He had just told the Japanese that we lost one man and that somehow, somewhere, they just had a success.
I asked my older brother about it and he provided additional explanation. Even at my age, it was an eye opener.
Later, during my years in the Marines, I added my understanding all the more. Military intelligence is far more complex than Mad Magazine’s Spy vs Spy. Indeed, it only confirmed the realistic nature of the cartoon.
Yet, during Vietnam, we provided the world with a day-by-day report of the killed, the missing and the captured. Worse, we reported to the Chi-coms confirmed kill, wounded and captured. To which I am sure they thought, Thank you very much.
And now, stupidly we report Israelis losses to the world while we assume that HAMAS reports of those killed by IDF as rock solid truth.
Just how stupid can we be? Just how simple can those in charge be? The secret is you keep things secret. You don’t give the advisories that information which will be helpful to them, even in the least.
This just might save you a penny or two, maybe a nickel. It seems there are those that like to look at what I look at. For instance if I look do a search on Peterbuilt diesel rigs, the next day, I receive ads on Peterbuilts as well as a few other rigs.
Here is a hint to put in your DB. I live off Social Security. I can’t afford a Peterbuilt. Hopefully, you can extrapolate that info. I can’t afford diamond rings or necklaces. It is useless to direct your ads at me.
Moreover, there is no sense directing any ads to my mail either, though I haven’t a clue how you get my address, your mail does show up from time to time.
Incidentally, no since trying to sell gold to me over TV. I have no need for that which provides no nutrition, shelter or other practical use. (haven’t a clue what good adding that would do, but it can’t hurt. Somehow they got the idea I can or want to buy useless pieces of metal when I have other real things I must purchase.)
